Description
This book is one of a series that aims to provide modellers with all they need to know about a famous class of warship and associated model kits.
This newly updated volume covers the Royal Navy’s last three battlecruisers, Hood, Repulse and Renown, ships of the First World War era which survived to fight in the Second. Still the fastest capital ships in the world in 1939, their protection was not up to contemporary standards and two were famously lost in action, Hood in an old fashioned gunnery duel, but Repulse became the first capital ship to be sunk at sea by air attack. The one modernised ship, Renown, survived an adventurous wartime career.
This edition has been revised to cover new kits and accessories released since the first publication of this book in 2007 and also includes new models built from these kits in Modelmakers’ Showcase.
